Windows 10/11: Ncat: A message sent on a datagram socket was larger than the internal message buffer ... Ken Kayser (Feb 20)
*Describe the bug*
When listening to a port with ncat, as soon as a UDP packet is received, I
receive a constant stream of errors with the following text: "Ncat: A
message sent on a datagram socket was larger than the internal message
buffer or some other network limit, or the buffer used to receive a
datagram into was smaller than the datagram itself. ."

*To Reproduce*

Reverse DNS (issue #3007) Matteo Nicoli (Feb 13)
Hi all,

I noticed a cool feature proposal on GitHub (issue 3007 <https://github.com/nmap/nmap/issues/3007>). It basically
suggests a new feature for returning the (complete) list of DNS records obtained — through reverse DNS lookups — from
an IP address. If it matches with the map product roadmap, I’d like to start implementing it. Is there some maintainer
who could give me a brief feedback about it?

Cheers,
Matteo

Re: Mail stoppage Gordon Fyodor Lyon (Feb 12)
Yes, this was my fault. Mail to the Nmap dev list from non-subscribers
goes through moderation to keep out the spam. I regularly go through the
moderation queue to find and approve the "real" messages, but I was a bit
slow this time. We strongly recommend that folks posting to the list first
subscribe to it. This avoids the moderation delay and prevents them from
missing any responses which might only be sent to the list.

Cheers,...

PR #2954, Fix out of bounds reads in packet parsing Domen Puncer Kugler via dev (Feb 12)
Hi,

I've submitted a pull request a few months ago:
https://github.com/nmap/nmap/pull/2954

The PR includes following three commits:
- Fix out of bounds read in HopByHopHeader::validate
- Fix out of bounds read in PacketParser::split
- Add AFL test code for PacketParser

This was found as a part of a short Hackathon at NCC Group.
As far as I can tell, there is no security impact, but it would still be nice
to see this fixed.

Kind regards

High-Priority HTML Parsing script astrotoki via dev (Feb 12)
Hello,

I noticed that under the high priority script ideas was the need for a library that parses HTML info from sites. I
wrote a script that uses a web crawler and extracts html info from attached pages and accompanying urls within the html
body. Let me know if this is what yall were after?

Thanks!

Nmap 7.95 released: OS and service detection signatures galore! Gordon Fyodor Lyon (May 05)
Dear Nmap Community,

I just arrived in San Francisco for the RSA conference and am delighted to
announce our Nmap Version 7.95 release! I'm most excited that we finally
tackled our backlog of OS and service detection fingerprint submissions.
We're not talking about dozens or hundreds of them-we processed more than
6,500 fingerprints!

For OS detection, we added 336 signatures, bringing the new total to 6,036.

Hi,

This isn't really a problem a vendor can solve in firmware (apart from
offering configuration via cloud, which has its own issues).
Even if they would enable TLS/SSL by default, it would just give one a
false sense of security, since:
- the certificates would be invalid (public CAs don't give out certs for IP
addresses),
- they would be easy to clone (due to being self-signed and/or being easy
to extract from a similar device),

As it happens, I’ve found the most effective way to use LLMs is to de-anthropomorphise them entirely and treat them
very like fuzzers (large scale generation of results, lots of false positives/nonsense, filtered by some oracle).

is (currently at least) practically far less useful than one in which you are content with...

environment variable and command-line argument based vulnerabilities. But,

Hey,

I have one quibble: We are using "reasoning" in a qualitative, not
descriptive, form here -- "fuzzing is or is not reasoning", "LLMs reason or
do not reason". I am not sure this is helpful. Fuzzing is empirically
successful at finding crashes. Somebody that needs to light a fire and
smashes two stones together until they throw sparks does not, once the fire
burns, need to justify that 'stones perform...

Everything old is new and the way we reason is the same way LLMs reason. It's

searching for that flaw the same way with unlimited (nearly) resources.

Memories and thoughts are the same thing, someone tried to explain to me

wrongly think memory is a noun instead of a verb, which is ok in philosophy

about these sorts of things.

One of these sources is the 'atopgpud' daemon, which permanently gathers

I recently stumbled upon something, and by sharing it here, I'm hoping
that I can shed some light on it.

The libspf2 library appears to be the standard way of parsing SPF
records in C, but its development has mostly stalled.

In the project's github repo, there's an unmerged pull request claiming
to fix a use after free bug:

Re: atop: Heap corruption Solar Designer (Mar 26)
No, it should not, and no, it is not. Just because people started
adding comments to this random issue doesn't make it the issue.

The specific bug that #330 is about is clear and is already fixed, but
the heap corruption is neither investigated nor fixed.

This kind of suspicion to irrelevant recent commits is what I meant by:

Re: atop: Heap corruption Mark Steward (Mar 26)
Have you linked the wrong issue? This is the premature accusation that
doesn't match the symptoms and isn't likely to be in any distros. So it's
probably not worth linking to the CVE.

Not sure if MITRE is on this list, but...

... this should include a link to
https://github.com/Atoptool/atop/issues/330 which is a tracker for the
issue in this CVE.  It looks like a munmap patch has been provided but
it looks also that this may be one of multiple 'suspicious' commits on
the radar (if you read the issue thread).

Verizon Fios customer here (Western PA). Given that Verizon's "Learn about

up to *56* LANs, it doesn't give me a ton of confidence that Fios will be

[NANOG] Re: IPv6 Legacy IP Warning Stickers William Herrin via NANOG (Mar 28)
I'm not sure why a modern ISP would fail to at least deploy the
minimum for IPv6: 6rd is easy enough to implement and if you don't
_automatically_ enable it for customers then it doesn't have to be as
efficient as your IPv4 offering.

Hi all,

Malte’s email below is on point. The one addition I’d make is that most
IXPs are not / would not use "non-authenticated IRRs” by default but
rather on member request where they specify the IRRDB to query. This
typically only happens for larger international networks rather than
regional ones where they’d only be a member of a single RIR.

Also, IRR data should only come into play after RPKI validation returns...

[NANOG] Re: IPv6 Legacy IP Warning Stickers Colin Stanners (lists) via NANOG (Mar 27)
As an example, MikroTik RouterOS has, just 2 months ago, finally added IPv6
FastTrack (a certain type of hardware offloading) in their beta software.
Until now, FastTrack was IPv4 only, so for much of their routers' usage
cases, the maximum IPv4 throughput would be 3-4x faster than IPv6. That
massive performance difference still applies to the shipping software of
units being purchased today....

I don't disagree and hope more consumer demand helps alter things. I would
like to have
the option to use IPv6 if I want. One ISP at the street has some IPv6 in
their peerings but
none to customers which means it is possible. Another ISP at the street
looks to be using
CGNAT for customers on FTTH with zero IPv6 peering.

[NANOG] Re: Are IXP route server operators filtering routes that lack authenticated route objects Malte Tashiro via NANOG (Mar 27)
In the RIPE Connect-WG there are efforts to establish a BCP document to only use RIR IRRs for filtering.

As part of this there was a presentation at RIPE 88 [0] where someone from DE-CIX showed an impact analysis.
Their takeaway is that dropping RADB would result in a loss of 11% of /24s and 250 Gbps traffic at peak, i.e., a
significant amount. Other non-RIR IRRs contribute only a small amount.

There is a follow-up mail thread with lots of...

ET is Emerging Threats, not Snort.

Your issue may be related to this issue,
https://community.emergingthreats.net/t/rule-failed-error/2471 . Your Snort
engine version is supported but there may be something related.

These rules are crashing sensors. Please verify and test the rules agin.

I am running SNORT Version 2.9.16.1 GRE (Build 140)
In the update from 2025_02_21 the following rules are crashing all my sensors.

To fix this I had to put all the following rules into disablesid.conf to get sensors running.
